I haven't even down played switch 2 hardware. Just looking at the game released it seems like a PS4 with DLSS, I was told the CPU is 2x PS4, and that it more powerful then pro, mean while almost every demanding game is 1080p and running the same frames as PS4. I will say the hardware is between PS4 and PRO just like DF said. Looking at recent games almost everything is struggling to hold a 30fps that's struggling to me, I'm not gonna sugar coat it.

You keep parroting that "between PS4 and PS4 Pro". It's not. Just like it's not "trading blows with XSS" and "OMG, this looks like PS5". Throw 8th gen technology at it, and chances are there are aspects in which PS4 will beat it. Throw 9th gen tech at it and it will perform better. It sits in some weird quantum state inbetween PS4 and XSS, depending on the game and developers involved.

Agreed.  I think my prediction of the S2 hardware was way more right than it was wrong, but the S2 is 20-30% more powerful than I expected.  It is also getting faster/more support than I expected as well.  For me the S2 is still first party, because of my PC, but for $450 the S2 is damn good.  I can see a lot of people making it their dedicated system for third party. 

As for Elden in particular, hell I had some minor drops into the mids 50s on my 4090...  the game is a PoS from a performance perspective, still a great game.  But I wouldn't use it as a benchmark for anything.
